I recieved mine, No cap as well...Which pisses me off because i needed the cap, which I was lead to believe was included. Anybody have a spare cap they would part with?

Awesome, at 10% of the Stealer price, it is worth a shot. I tried to make one out of a BMW part, but it was a bust.

Has anyone confirmed this works? Im getting low coolant warning with a full tank of coolant.

Hi guys - looks like I need a coolant level sensor for my '91 S4 - has anyone confirmed this non-Porsche version works yet? Also if you receive it without the cap - does this make it unusable?

I guess if I get to needing one of these, its something to re-wire and ignore.

If we overheat..we still have a pressure sensor, and a temp gauge, and when it leaks..we still have a nose, and when we check oil every few tanks of gas...we still have eyes.

listing has gone?

Well electrically it works but the cap does not fit from the original sensor. It looks like it can be made to fit with a bit of whittling. As long as you have the original seal/gasket you should be good.

Mark - I have one here for you to try.

Nigel - I can get more if needed.

That'd be great Roger. I sent you a couple of emails yesterday with bits I need - can this be added to those?

Sean and I looked at this further today. It will take a lot of "whittling" to make this work and seal on the top of the expansion tank.

The sensor will report a different level of lack of fluid - not a show stopper.
The new sensor will not pass through the hole in the original cap - probably can be overcome.
However the sealing face cap to sensor is none existent/way too small. As you screw the cap down the sensor will fall into the tank.

Here are some pictures.

So much for the direct replacement that they advertised.

MJ - it was great that you found it and it would have been perfect if it worked. I will certainly try and return mine.

markpaul

Oh well, looks like I'm in for the Porsche version.

Can't you find a washer to go under the sensor and over the cap? What is the OD of the sensor under the lip?
